The Golden Age
Today is the day I will be traveling back to the
golden age of piracy. In the early 1700's there
were thousands of pirates which is why It is
referred to as the Golden Age of Piracy. I am
going back to meet Anne Bonny, a female
pirate who took on the life of being a male to
make a life for herself at a time where men
made all the decisions.
We have just arrived in the Golden Age of
Piracy and now our mission is to find Anne Bonny and get on her ship. She became part of her husband,
Calico jack's, ship. Once we found the ship in the harbor we snuck on board. We were just in luck they
were about to sail away and were having a crew meeting togo over the plan.We stood in with the other
crew members not really listening to the captain and what he had to say. We were much too busy trying
to spot Anne Bonny out in the crowd.
Once we found her we waiting until they meeting was finished and
as everyone was going to start preparing their stations to set sail we
fought our way against the crown and caught up with her. Upon
talking to her we found out that she was on the ship because her
husbandCalico Jack was the captain of the boat. He had invited her
along with him to get away from her old lover. She was grateful for
that but she really just wanted to make a name for herself and
couldn't do it by just being a house wife. So she used Calico Jack as
leverage.
Captian Jack was not the best pirate but he sure did know how to
spend money. especially the money him and his crew took from
attacking small ships off the coast. Unfortunately Anne fell
pregnant and was left in Cuba to deliver the baby without Captain
Jack. We managed to get off the boat while they were stopped in Cuba to dump Anne off. We
couldn't believe that jack would just leave her like that after her tried so hard to get with her. We
tried to help her out as it became clear she was about to go in to labor but she refused. She said she
didn't need anyone to help her. She ended up giving birth to a beautiful baby boy and leaving him with
a relative that happened to live in Cuba. She couldn't just give up on her dream of becoming a pirate and
making a name for herself just because captain jack got her pregnant.
We decided that we had seen enough of Anne and her very outgoing life and personality so we went
travelled back. She truly was one of the greatest pirates with the make fearless decisions she
made and how she wouldn't let anything get in the way of her dream
